Salmon is a good source of omega-3 fats, which may lower your risk of heart disease. And like other fish, salmon is a good source of protein. This tasty dish is low in calories and salt.

Ingredients:
1 tsp canola oil
1 garlic clove minced
4 3-ounce salmon fillets
1/8 tsp sea salt

BBQ glaze
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 tsp molasses
1 tbsp dark brown sugar
2 tsp Worchestershire
1 tsp red pepper flakes

4 cups uncooked spinach

Directions:
Heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until just turning brown. Add salmon fillets, sprinkle with sea salt and cook on each side for about 3 minutes.

Remove from heat.

In the same skillet, add remaining ingredients through pepper flakes and heat until simmering.

Serve salmon over spinach with a tablespoon of sauce on top.
